Week in Review, 11/27 to 12/3

Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review! Here’s all the news you might have missed:

Headlines

Taeyeon caused a three car accident in Gangnam early in the week. Following news of the accident were conflicting reports of reckless driving, preferential treatment, and Taeyeon’s “dismissive” attitude towards the situation. CCTV footage revealed she did in fact rear end a taxi that was at a complete stop, causing it to crash into the car in front of it. While eyewitness accounts said there were injuries, the police report said that there were no serious injuries to the victims. SM and Taeyeon have decided to deal with the matter privately, and Taeyeon has accepted full blame for the accident, according to authorities. Despite all the drama, Taeyeon will move forward with her December comeback.

Mnet Asian Music Awards concluded the second and third rounds of awards in Japan and Hong Kong. Song of the year went to Twice for “Signal,” BTS was crowned Artist of the Year for the second time, and Exo took home their fifth Album of the Year MAMA for The War.
